What We’re Talking About

We’re focusing on the themes that are having the biggest influence on us as a society. Within each theme we are bringing the people changing the face of technology and shaping conversations that will ultimately define how technology moves forward. Below are the 8 core themes which make up DTS18.

Artificial Intelligence

AI is impacting our lives at a phenomenal rate, and as technology improves, we as a race become increasingly dependent on it. The world’s leading organisations in finance, law, healthcare, manufacturing, transport, energy, education and many more are implementing this technology.

MUSICxTECH

DTS has forged an exciting new partnership with beatvyne, giving complete freedom to hosts, artists, and fans to create their own events in alternative spaces. Jailbreak by beatvyne is a week-long experience running day and night as part of DTW in April 2018.

That’s not all! Jailbreak by beatvyne will be at DTS18. Jailbreak will play a part in gathering the world’s leading experts in music & technology by hosting DTS18’s Music x Tech stage. This stage will focus on the fan experience and will explore how new technologies are positively changing the current music landscape.

Innovation

One of the most popular stages at DTS17, Innovation is what links together all areas of technology. Undoubtedly an agent of change, innovation plays a key role in both Dublin becoming one of the main tech capitals of Europe and in the success of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing and cyber security over the last decade. As the theme that every DTS attendee can relate to, the Innovation Stage brings together all eight DTS18 themes under one roof where the world’s leaders in business and technology will shape the future of global trends and technologies.

FinTech

One of the most demanding qualities of modern technology is speed. If you’re designing something that you want people to use, it is essential that it completes its function fast and efficiently. When it comes to financial technology there is little room for error. That is why Ireland’s Silicon Docks have become home to dozens of homegrown and international companies looking for a capital to call their own. Join us in 2018 as we hear from thought leaders, industry experts, on what the future has in store for this dynamic industry.

Internet of Things

When people talk about the “next big thing”, they’re never thinking big enough. The Internet of Things is an industry that will generate $2.3 trillion in new economic value worldwide by the year 2025. From embedded sensors to wireless connectivity, discuss the practicalities of implementing the Internet of Things and explore how IoT can benefit your bottom.

Big Data

Data is the raw material for our information age. Companies across many sectors are looking at Big Data – from financial services to fighting cancer, from telecommunications to traffic congestion, from entertainment to energy supply and from media to manufacturing. Break down traditional discussion boundaries and hear from industry leaders to learn and discuss how algorithms are predicting future habits, how data is changing what we buy and the way we do business, and how analytics are altering our behaviour and decision making at home, at work and in everything we do.

Cyber Security

A couple of years ago, cyber security was seen as an IT issue, but now we can see the damaging impact this sort of crime can have on a business. Cyber Security and the threat of cyber crime has never been as relative. We want to provide businesses with information on the threats and potential risks of cyber crime. Speakers include TED Speaker Mikko Hypponen, one of the world’s most highly regarded experts on cybercrime and cyber security.

Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing is something all 10,000 DTS attendees use every day. More and more innovative companies are moving towards cloud technologies for scalability, cost reduction, and new service offerings. DTS18 will bring together the leading minds working on cloud computing to examine how to best leverage cloud services such as SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, the differences between the private and public cloud, and to review the risks associated with these technologies. Explore the “connected experience” and learn how cloud computing is expanding into new solutions that can benefit you and your business at DTS18
